Article Abstract
Background: Pediatric stroke requires a high level of awareness and knowledge among pediatricians to minimize mortality and morbidity. In this survey, we aimed to assess the knowledge of Turkish pediatricians about pediatric stroke.
Methods: Pediatricians and pediatric residents were invited via social networking platforms to an online survey with multiple choices about definition, etiology, symptoms-signs, neuroimaging, and treatment modalities of pediatric stroke.
Results: Of 474 participants enrolled, the majority (n = 355, 70.6%) had ≥5 years of experience in pediatrics. While thirty-five percent (n = 166) of the participants never assessed pediatric stroke patients, 74.5% (n = 353) were not familiar with a stroke scale. For items related to definition/etiology, symptoms/signs, neuroimaging modalities, and stroke scale, the median correct answer rates ranged from 45.1% to 58%. The lowest median rate of correct answers (23.6%) was for acute treatment strategies. Subgroup analysis revealed that pediatric neurologists and participants with ≥5 years of experience in a subspecialty had significantly higher correct answer rates in several items.
Conclusions: Although correct answers were gathered in some areas, there is still abundant room for improvement. Stroke knowledge of pediatric neurologists seems to be better; however, this level of knowledge can be strengthened by well-established consensus regarding diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), also called noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCM), is a myocardial disease that affects children and adults. Morphological features of LVNC include a noncompacted spongiform myocardium due to the presence of excessive trabeculations and deep recesses between prominent trabeculae. Incidence and prevalence rates of this disease remain contentious due to varying clinical phenotypes, ranging from an asymptomatic phenotype to fulminant heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, and sudden death.

Background: While testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT) survival exceeds 90%, many survivors of adult TGCT are at risk for treatment toxicities. Less is known about physical morbidities in children, adolescents, and young adults (CAYA) with TGCT.
Methods: We used the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario Networked Information System, the Initiative to Maximize Progress in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Therapy, and the Ontario Cancer Registry to identify all CAYA males diagnosed with TGCT from 1992 to 2021 at age 11-21 years in Ontario, Canada.

Background: Vascular changes are observed in children with cystic fibrosis (cwCF), and gender-specific differences may impact arterial stiffness. We aimed to compare arterial stiffness and clinical parameters based on gender in cwCF and to determine the factors affecting arterial stiffness in cwCF.
Methods: Fifty-eight cwCF were included.

This analysis evaluates the longitudinal impact of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist device (VAD) on the progression of motor delay and cognitive delay in pediatric heart transplant recipients. The United Network for Organ Sharing Registry was queried for pediatric patients (<18 years) who received a heart transplant between 2008 and 2022 and were bridged-to-transplantation with either ECMO or VAD. Patients were further stratified based on the progression of delay status pretransplant to post-transplant.

Background: Pediatric acute ischemic stroke is a rare yet severe condition with multifactorial etiology, often associated with vasculopathies. Endovascular intervention in children with focal cerebral arteriopathy is seldom reported.
Purpose: Our aim was to report feasibility of intracranial rescue stenting for the management of pediatric focal cerebral arteriopathy with flow-limiting stenosis.
